Experiments

Searchable full-text extractions: founding hypothesis, core claims, experimental setups, key results and statistics — pulled out of each paper as structure. Search a cell line, an assay or an entity (e.g. HUH7) and find every paper that worked with it. This corpus stands on its own: most entries carry no reproduction assessment (yet).

  Long pure palindromes (>~200 bp) cannot be stably cloned in E.coli due to cruciform-driven instability, and no E.coli mutant fully overcomes this cloning block.

  Existing AS nomenclatures (Malko et al.'s 5-letter strings, Nagasaki et al.'s bit matrices, and the ASD/ATD/AEdb system) are redundant, ambiguous, or incapable of representing complex or large splicing variations.
